Yes, I've been meaning to do that. Hopefully Fatdog64-510 will be out soon, well at least a rc. It has Xorg 7.6. I've read on Barry's blog there have been some problems depending on the video driver or maybe the kernel used. When 510rc comes out can you test with that and let me know how it goes?

duke93535,

I'm hoping Adobe comes out with new 64bit pluggin before 510 goes final. I was pleasantly surprised when this one came out.

moB,

Yes, groupadd is part of Pam that I left in the devx file, should have been removed. We're not using pam. I've removed it now and ran ldd on both sfs files to make sure I didn't have anything else dead in there. To add groups you'll want to use addgroup.

I've compiled Samba 3.0.37 (which was released about 1 year ago). That seems to work fine in Fatdog64. After installing the parts needed to run a file server and a client it only adds 2MB to Fatdog. So I grabbed Patriot's LameSMBxplorer and added that and made a little GUI to start and stop the server. The server is setup to share the Downloads folder without a password. XP and Vista can browse right to it. I didn't include smbspool, I think that's needed for printers over SMB, I'll have to do some checking.

Also, I compiled the netdiscover 0.3b7. It's a nice network utility for sniffing out the IP addresses in use on a network. Kind of big though ~750k. I thought it was smaller than that the last time I compiled it for 32bit. I guess everything get bigger.

I downloaded it yesterday and booted it up on a (64-bit) computer, and it worked fine except that about 20 minutes later I got a complaint from the centre's tech guy. The centre runs on Windows XP, and apparently my computer was using 2 IP addresses and slowing down the network.

Does anyone else know why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance,

Please reboot the LIveCD and after getting to desktop, open a terminal window and type "ip address show". Post the results here._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Are there any improvements to the ATI Radeon drivers in the new version?

We have an ACER Aspire that chronically overheats under moderate video stress.

We only run Puppy Fatdog64-500 on it, though we have briefly tested dpup and zpup -- with the same result, or worse._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

Thanks for replying. I'll certainly do that although it probably won't be until next week - that's when I'm next likely to be in town.

Do you have two NIC cards? I suspect you tech guy is confused. Even if you had two IP addresses that shouldn't make much difference. To check your IP address open a terminal and type ifconfig.

Well, I packaged the latest version Catalyst 10.10. Or if you mean the open source driver the whole Xorg tree has been upgraded to the latest.

I'll post an RC this weekend. Please note that the kernel has changed and I'm going to use the same repository for pet packages that 500 uses. The only problem with that is the ATI and Nvidia proprietary drivers. I'll move those two to a sub-folder labeled old. Also, Jamesbond has been on a mission and hasn't had free time lately, so there's no Nvidia pet for 510 yet. :>

Thanks for replying. He's normally very good, so I doubt he's confused but there's no harm in my trying that ifconfig anyway (as well as the ip address command mentioned earlier).

He told me he thought it was something to do with it being a Linux machine running on a networked system meant for Windows XP, but I don't know why that would be a problem.

You need to look at the release notes before installing the pet package and make sure your card is supported. I've uploaded Fatdog64-510, so the ATI pet package for 500 has been moved to the "old" folder.

The ATI Catalyst pet package for Fatdog64-510 is version 10.10. Here's the release notes for that:

Hi - I am picking up with Fatdog again after six months or so. Decided to test out 510 so I needed to start with a new save file. I read through this forum thread and at 18+ pages it's easy to miss stuff.
I really like Fatdog500 for its speed on 64 bit processors.

Can you update the initial page entry with information that a new user, or someone re-setting-up should know, so that all the information needed is in one place? I'm thinking about these items:
- Apply the .pet to prevent white on yellow for PPM.
- Warning about using Alsa sound wizard (It disabled my save file)
- How to set up Firefox for use as non-spot
- Any other stuff that a first time user should be aware of.
Thanks,
